Federal Criminal Defense

Dallas/Fort Worth, TX Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys

If you or someone you care about has been charged or is under investigation for a violation of federal criminal law, the stakes are already at their highest. Whether the accusation is for fraud, tax evasion, or drug trafficking, there is a high likelihood you could face prison time in a federal penitentiary. You need an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer, who can help you navigate the system utilizing every tool available to protect your life, liberty, and future.

Federal Criminal Charges are Different than State Charges

This is true for many reasons. First, federal crimes are usually investigated by professional law enforcement officers. These include agents of the FBI, DEA, ATF, DHS, and CIA just to name a few. Typically, these agents have college degrees, know what they’re doing, and don’t make simple mistakes like some law enforcement officers in the state system. Second, the federal sentencing scheme is designed so the deck is stacked against you for putting up a fight. Unlike the State system, probation is rarely an option. But the lawyers at Westfall Sellers have helped clients obtain lighter sentences (including probation), and in many cases avoid charges altogether.
